>I don't think this actually exists.

Yep. People have a strong tendency to take a single example, or small number of examples, and apply it as universal truth to all similar things.

"Redditor mentality", "market believes", "government did"...they are all statements you will see often on Internet forums and offline conversations, but I think they are a clue into the person making those claims.

What exists are many individual actors making decisions; pretending they are an independent, collective, conscious entity is delusional.
